The Charlotte Hornets' well-known Charlotte trio has been famous in the league for many years, and although they have not made any substantial achievements in the playoffs in recent years, they are definitely the top teams recognized in the East.

Especially the thick-eyed brother Anthony. Davis, who has been selected as the All-Before-One Defender for several seasons, is widely regarded as one of the best interior players in the league right now.

Plus Oladipo, who is not injured, and Kemba, who should have switched to Celtic at this time. Walker, the team is really good.

But in terms of strength, the Toronto Raptors are clearly superior.

Trash brother Kyle. Lowry and Jamal. DeRozan is a long-established All-Star, and the team also includes young up-and-coming players such as Siakam and VanVleet.

And most importantly, this summer, they got an even more sassy All-Star, Paul. George, this made a qualitative leap in the overall strength of the Raptors.

Because of this, when the Raptors and Hornets met, with a deeper lineup, the Raptors successfully defeated the Hornets 4:3 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

The matchup in the East is the matchup between the two teams of the Bucks and the Raptors.

From the point of view of star strength, the Bucks team with the alphabet brother must have the advantage.

But judging from the overall strength of the main players, it is clear that the Raptors are stronger on their side.

It's really hard to say who will win or lose when these two teams meet in the East Finals, at least compared to the suspense of the finals in the West, it is much smaller.

Western Conference Finals, Lakers vs Clippers.

If the Lakers are in a full lineup, they may be able to compete with the Clippers a little bit.

But Cousins' season reimbursement left the Lakers with no capital to compete with the Clippers.

With only James + Towns, maybe a combination of Tatum, why fight with Wang Chao's Clippers?

Previously, the league announced the All-Season Team and All-Defensive Team rosters.

The five players who were shortlisted for the best team were Wang Chao and Stephen. Curry, James. Harden, Antetokounmpo, Davis.

That's right, James wasn't selected to the All-Match Team, and this was the first time he fell out of the All-Of-One Team since the '07-08 season.

This plane is different from another plane, there was no incident in the 18-19 season when the Lakers led by James missed the playoffs, so he was still the best team that year.

But this year, although the Lakers finished third in the West in the regular season, James was still squeezed out of the best team.

Although his average of 25+8+10 per game is very luxurious, because of Wang Chao and Westbrook, the two big brushes of Hoho for several years in a row, people are no longer surprised by such statistics, considering the Lakers' luxurious lineup, and James's visible decline on the defensive end and key moments, this result is not surprising.

After all, among the three striker players Wang Chao, Brother Alphabet and Brother Thick Eyebrows, he can't squeeze out any of them.

Of course, James only fell from the best team to the second team.

He was with Luca. Doncic, Jimmy. Butler, Kawai. Leonard and Nikolai. Jokic was named to the All-Second Team.

As for the five players in the best three team, they are Russell. Westbrook, Carey. Owen, Paul. George, Joel. Embiid and Rudy. Goebel.

Although the 19-20 season was a special season, these players are still the undisputed top 15 players in the league.

——

The East-West finals will be played in the park as scheduled.

Different from the previous East-West finals, the strong atmosphere of the respective teams' home stadiums, in the park, the empty stands, always feel that something is missing, and the bloody atmosphere of the stadium no longer exists.

After all, people are emotional creatures, and when the loud shouts of tens of millions of spectators on the field, it will give players a more positive attitude and fighting spirit.

These are all things that cannot be experienced in a park competition without spectators.

It was in this awkward atmosphere that the Western Conference Finals officially began.

The Clippers' starting lineup has not changed from the first two rounds, and it is still Wang Chao, Alexander, Gallinari, Anthony and Lopez.

On the Lakers' side, due to Cousins' injury, the starting lineup was adjusted, Towns returned to the center position, and James made a temporary cameo appearance at power forward. Green is the starting small forward, while Rondo and Tatum are point guards and point guards.

Such a lineup arrangement allows the Lakers to come up with a reasonably acceptable starting lineup, but this is obviously not enough to compete with the Clippers.

Without Cousins, Towns alone can't support the Lakers' interior advantage, and Da Luo's defense is not so easy to deal with after all.

This season, with the ability to protect the basket under the basket, Da Luo was successfully selected to the best defensive second team, second only to Rudy, who was in the first defensive team. Goebel.

Downs's confrontation ability is weak, and he is not as good as Cousins, and against a heavy center like Da Luo, he can basically only float on the outside for a long time to shoot three-pointers.

This is going to kill James.

Rondo no longer has the ability to attack with the ball, and although Tatum is strong, he is in a state of being semi-scrapped in the Lakers, which is completely different from being given heavy responsibilities in the Green Army at the same time, and more often can only play like a fixed-point shooter.

Coincidentally, speaking of the shooter, Danny. Green is more in line with this positioning.

Now even Downs fits perfectly into the segment, with Tatum, Danny. Green stayed on the outside line and hung up together, isn't this the rhythm of a thirty-year-old man?

James was both a father and a mother in the game, frequently holding the ball and hitting the basket to score, and not forgetting to shoot the ball to these guys.

When James was still on the court, the Lakers could barely entangle with the Clippers, and as James rested in the third quarter, the situation immediately changed dramatically, and the Clippers launched a wave of 12:0 offense, directly widening the difference to double digits and even going straight to the 20-point difference!

James, who sat on the field and didn't even have time to sit on the hot ass, wanted to cry without tears.

How does this TM fight?

The Lakers called a timeout urgently, and James had to return to the game.

He didn't get a good rest, and it was difficult to support the Lakers' offense even on the court, especially on the defensive end, James could only put his hands on his waist and pant as he watched the Clippers score offensively.

114:99。

In the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Clippers defeated the Lakers by 15 points and won the first victory.

But the process of this game is not as intense as the Clippers and Spurs in the second round.

Wang Chao only played for more than 30 minutes, he didn't play seriously at all, and he didn't directly oppose James at all throughout the whole process, but the game was won easily, which is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams after one less Cousins.

It's also a game to see the whole series end.

The Lakers do not have any ability to fight against the Clippers, and what is even more desperate is that James has been on fire in this game, scoring a triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, while Wang Chao did not get serious at all, playing less than 30 minutes, only 24 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

But that's it, the Lakers still only managed to sustain three quarters of the game under the onslaught of the Clippers.

In fact, the Clippers' main lineup is okay, not as strong as expected, just relying on Wang Chao's play.

But their bench firepower is still too strong.

With the addition of Lowe and Harrell, the two players alone scored 36 points, which is more than all the Lakers' bench players combined!

It is completely conceivable that if Wang Chao is serious, let alone playing the whole game, even if he plays for about 35 to 38 minutes normally, it is impossible to imagine how miserable the Lakers will be.

The only thing Lakers fans can be thankful for at this time is this park game, and they don't need to be there to witness how their team was unilaterally blown up.

Sure enough, in the next few games, although the Lakers also tried hard to resist, they obviously couldn't resist the black and strong Clippers, so they could only close their eyes and resign themselves to their fate.

4:0, another sweep.

I don't know how many times James has been swept out by Wang Chao's team, but to be exact, Wang Chao has swept opponents in every round, and he has become the player who has swept the most opponents in NBA playoff history.

The only difference is that there is a fig leaf for James to be swept this time, that is, there is a lack of a big player in the team, and if Cousins is still around, the outcome is still unknown...... At least some hard-mouthed Lakers fans can use this as an excuse to excuse their own team.

Wang Chao and the Clippers fans naturally have little interest in fighting with a bunch of losers.

After the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers officially reached the Finals, and on the stage of the Finals, waiting for the results of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It's different from the Western Conference Finals, which is completely one-sided.

The intensity of the Eastern Showdown was much higher.

The Bucks and the Raptors are definitely a close battle.

When the Clippers eliminated the Lakers 4-0 to advance to the finals, the Bucks and Raptors had just fought to a 2-2 draw and were about to fight for the Kings Mountain.

Then in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Antetokounmpo played the best masterpiece of his career so far, slashing 45 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, leading the Bucks to defeat the Raptors and win the key battle of Tianwang Mountain.

But in the sixth game, the Raptors, who were 2:3 behind and half a foot on the edge of the cliff, were not willing to fail, George and DeRozan both made a force, both scoring 30+ points.

On the other hand, Brother Alphabet seems to have entered the cooling-off period after the ultimate, and the game played medily, but the result was buried a wave of opportunities to send away the opponent, and the total score was equalized to 3:3.

The two sides are going to have a tiebreaker.

Wang Chao, who watched the excitement throughout the whole process, couldn't guess who of the two teams would win the final victory.

If it's a normal season, the Bucks are more likely to win, after all, the Bucks are first in the East and have home-court advantage in the tie-breaker, and home-court advantage is a very important factor in the playoffs.

In the park, where there is no home and away stadium, no on-site fans, and completely unified standards, the only thing that the two sides can compete with is real hard power.

As a result, the Raptors had the last laugh in the seven-tie battle.

Brother Alphabet almost broke into the Finals, but unfortunately, this season's Raptors have a stronger lineup, George + Lowry + DeRozan + Siakam + VanVleet, no matter how you look at it, it is bigger than Brother Alphabet + Wiggins + Middleton.

In fact, if Wiggins and Middleton can perform slightly better in the playoffs, maybe the Bucks can win the series, after all, before that, the Bucks took the lead in winning the match point 3:2 and had the upper hand.

It's a pity that sometimes fate is so capricious.

However, the Bucks were able to reach the Eastern Conference finals in the 19-20 season, which was actually considered a success.

After all, in another time and space, the bucks led by Brother Alphabet stopped in the second round in the park, and their performance was not as good as here.

In this way, the matchup in the finals is the Los Angeles Clippers vs Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors are actually one of the teams that are more affected by Wang Chao, because of Wang Chao's relationship, they directly lost the opportunity to win the first championship in team history, that is, the opportunity to get Leonard from the Spurs in the 18-19 season.

But it can't be helped, who let Wang Chao cut Leonard to the Rockets when he was a rookie, and the latter has been playing with the Rockets for so many years, and he has not moved his nest until now.

And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Leonard really joined the Raptors like he did in the original time and space, so what, let alone against Wang Chao, it was the Nets with a super luxurious lineup in the West at that time, and they were afraid that they were not opponents.

Now, the Raptors, who have many powerful players, are still very few who are optimistic that they can win against the Clippers of Wang Chao.

After all, it is Wang Chao, Wang Chao, who has rarely suffered defeat for so many years.

Why do you think that the Raptors' players have the ability to defeat Wang Chao?

After all, the Raptors this season, only Paul. George was named to the All-Star team, and even if they came out of the East, no one thought they could win.

Before the start of the Finals, ESPN launched a voting for championship teams, and 97% of fans favored the Clippers to defend the championship, and only 3% of fans believed that the Raptors had a chance to win the championship.

It seems that Wang Chao will win the 11th championship of his career, officially tying the legendary legend, Lord of the Rings Bill. Russell is already a sure thing. ”

"Witnessing the miracle, the 37-year-old Wang Chao is about to tie Russell, and every step he takes will create new history, can Wang Chao break Russell's record and win 12 or more championships? From an age point of view, although he is still in peak form, there is really not much time left for him. ”

All the topics of discussion in the outside world are like all of the above, just like the Clippers have won the championship.

But in fact, it is true, although the finals have not yet started, but the coffin is actually closed.

Wang Chao can't let the championship fly away, and he won't give the Raptors this chance.

In the first game of the finals, he used a big triple-double performance of 51 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists to tell the Raptors in 44 minutes that he should not try to challenge him.
